Very nice place for both longer and shorter stays. I stayed one night before hitting the road. Pam is an amazing host! Was offered muffins and tea upon arrival. The room was super cozy and so was the garden just outside. The breakfast was the best I ever had in a hotell/bnb so far! Highly recommend!

Accomodation was top level and surrounding gardens were beautiful and a place to kick back and relax. Hosts Dennis and Pam were lovely people who had a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Welcoming coffee after a long drive from Greymouth and bacon and eggs breakfast was just devine. Very close to the city and local pubs for a nice feed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our room was spotless and thoughtfully furnished. The house is in perfect order and decorated beautifully with period detail reflecting the era when the home was built. All modern conveniences made for a wonderful stay. Centrally located in Christchurch with ample street parking. The kind hospitality of our hosts Pam and Denis, as well as their friendly doggy Ralph, was truly the standout for us. I give my wholehearted recommendation for travelers and would not hesitate to return.
